A Thousand Miles From Nowhere

About Me

Click Here For Myspace Layouts ! I was born in Montreal, Quebec. I moved to the United States when I got a scholarship to play baseball in College. Which is where I met my lovely wife Andrea. We have two precious girls, Alexa Rae and Preslee Noelle. My wife and kids are my pride and joy. I am a music lover and an independant movie buff. Eventhough I consider myself a warm person, I would rather live in an environment where it's cold and dark all the time. If I had to do it all over again, I would give anything to be a critic in the world of entertainment. I live in the South, but I would prefer to live in New England where my favorite baseball team is (Go Red Sox!). I miss Montreal a great deal, but home is where the three girls in my life is. Music keeps me going. I could talk about it forever. If I had the talent, I would be a singer / songwriter. But I'll leave this to others! I'm here for people who are into the kind of music that I love, and for people who just can't spend a day without watching a movie! My hometown of Montreal at night:

My Interests


I'd like to meet:


Banner by MySpace Banners.org

Buried at PhotoCasket.com I would love the hang out with Counting Crows' lead singer Adam Duritz. I feel a great deal of connection with him judging from his words and lifestyle. Then, I'd love to meet Ryan Adams ( probably one of the greatest songwriters of this century ). Words cannot express what his music means to me. Then, I would like to have some time to express my gratitude to Edward Burns for giving me some of the greatest times I've had watching movies. Al Pacino, and Robert DeNiro: no words could describe what a dream it would be to sit down and chat with them just one time! Where I'd love to go...someday!
